Both tail rattling and bum dragging are territorial behavior. Tail rattling expresses annoyance and agitation; bum dragging is almost exclusively male behavior, as they are depositing their scent to mark their territory.

Well, the bum dragging isn't all that noticeable as they let their lumps hang out down and low in what I call the 'locked and loaded' position. When allowed to hang all out, the testicles are the shape and size of dry kidney beans and are lose to the floor of the cage without much change in posture. Young bucks so this almost all the time with extra attention to the water bottle. I hate handling those bottles....sticky...ewww.
